They definitely sold out but not in the crazy swift manner that the 7 Plus variants sold out this year. 6S Plusses were available, albeit in limited quantities to all carriers and stores. Preorders sold out in a manner of hours, not a manner of MINUTES like the 7 plusses did.

I work at Best Buy and I'll put it like this, this is the first time we've NEVER received not one single variant of a certain Iphone (Plus) no 32's, no 128's, no 256's in NO colors

November is actually a better time to get them anyway. Black Friday discounts. I remember seeing nice deals on the iPhone 4, 4s, and 5 by November and December.

+ Cheaper deals
+ Early bugs get sorted out

There are moments of regret when I should have got the slim models of my PlayStations. I got the phat ones for PS1, PS2, and PSP. PS1 and PSP gave me issues. PS2 was already the 5000 model three years later which ran cooler and no Disc Read Errors. I wished I had waited for Version 2. The slimmer ones were just more stable. PS2 slim was a great design. Reason why I also skipped the original PS4 because I wanted to wait for its slim edition.

Don't rush it especially if you plan to keep it longer than a year. Note7 is the perfect example of people rushing to buy a product and have it blowing up at their faces! Wait for stability with these early shipments of products. Defects out of millions are bound to show up. Wait for the next -gate issues since OCD people have nothing better to do but search for flaws and complain about it online.
